The FINAL Somnium VR-1 Is Here & the Future of Optics ( 210º FoV )

Published 2024-07-22
last week I had the opportunity to go to Prague for the official unveiling of the Somnium VR 1, a high-end PCVR headset, with every single sensor on it, poised to arrive this year, If you remember I previewed some months ago, and it wasn't perfect, so while I started skeptical I have to say that things moved in the right direction, but that's not all, because there I also had the opportunity to touch and with my hands the future of VR immersion, with next generation lenses for the next-gen of products, bringing finally big FoV to the masses, and well, Teslasuit, the haptic vest able to control your muscles, I know, creepy, this time fully integrated in Half-Life Alyx.
So well, let's get into it.

    I think it's the first time that a company actually listens to our feedback. lol.
  • @artursychov
    Thank you for coming Tyriel! It was a fun day and thanks for walking through feature by feature and noticing improvements we did! Thank you for your feedback from December!
  • @ormpoa
    Thanks for the best video about Somnium Connect
  • @louiesauras2403
    This is just the news I was looking for, glad to of stumbled across your channel!
  • @crnknstn
    The quad VR prototype at 8:32 reminds me of those military quad night vision goggles. Looks insane
  • @DMan-ud6bt
    Thanks for your valuable second impressions, Tyriel! It boggles my mind that they chose to demo the VR1 on inferior PC hardware at only 124 degrees render FOV. It is also worth noting that the demos were either run at 80% or 85% of what is considered native panel resolution for the VR1. We NEED full in-depth reviews of VR1, with each reviewer having the time to adjust software settings to ensure it is dialed in for their own eyes - ASAP. Of course that requires reviewers actually getting their hands on review units of the final product.

    This video was really helpful!
  • @Snack.Dragon
    Amazing ! I can not imagine the now tech reached to this tier.
  • @idegteke
    The moment you said “new developments” I realised that I will be able to buy Somnium VR-1, by the time 190° will be the norm for FoV and pixel/degree will be a thing of the past – or taxes are abolished, at the very least:)
  • have mine ordered, coming from an index, i was really waiting around to see a high end hmd with wide fov, decent framerates, high resolution and outside in tracking. don't really care that it's bulky or front heavy, i ride motorcycles on track a lot so having wind pull on the helmet at high speeds is something i'm used to, never had neck issues with a vr headset or a helmet for that matter. mostly use vr in simracing and -flying. it's gonna be super sweet when all the settings are dialed in and DFR is working properly
  • @joseferrer8334
    Thank you for this video. Could Arthur lend a device to you so you can do your typical through the lens pictures comparisons? Lens quality, resolution and no compression are the key selling points of this device!
  • @TyKix
    It looks absolutely massive, I know it’s got good tech in it but it’s still undoubtedly a big headset for what is a PCVR headset.
  • @pixxelpusher
    If Somnium put the Hypervision 210 degree lenses into a small and light VR-2 headset I'd definitely consider buying it.
  • @killdano
    Holy shit it's almost as good as the headset I got a month ago for 1/3 of the price
  • @lurchilurch5507
    Why would world scale in MSFS be an HMD issue? It's fully adjustable within the sim
  • @reyluna0
